Campfire prohibition rescinded in Cariboo Fire Centre
Campfires are once again allowed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. However, the burning of waste or slash piles is still prohibited. The Cariboo Fire Centre is rescinding its campfire prohibition due to cooler and wetter conditions and a decreased wildfire risk in the region. The following activities will be allowed: • campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high; • an open fire in an outdoor stove; • fireworks, sky lanterns
and tiki torches; • the use of burning barrels, burning cages and air curtain burners (forced air burning systems.) Anyone who lights a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire site and have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for

Tolko annnounces reduction Tolko Industries Ltd. announced that, due to continued market challenges in China, they will reduce the operating footprint of their Quest Wood lumber mill. The mill, located in Quesnel B.C., employs 224 people and currently produces 200 million board feet of product annually. Larry Broadfoot, General Manager, Lumber, Plywood Sales and Marketing said the reduction is necessary in current market conditions. “Lumber market prices and volume demand for our number three and economy products, particularly in China, have declined to a point where it is now
necessary to reduce the operating footprint of the mill in order to remain competitive and produce a more appropriate volume and quality for the market,” he said. Broadfoot noted that while the reduction will have implications for customers, customer service will remain a priority. “At Quest Wood, we will run at current capacity until mid-October when the existing fibre inventory will be consumed,” he said. “At that point, we will be delivering a higher quality log which will reduce the volume of lumber available from Quest Wood to the market
by 100 million board feet. Despite this reduction, all product commitments to our customers will be met.” Troy Connolly, General Manager BC Lumber, noted that employees have been informed of the decision and have been advised of next steps as the process moves ahead. “We have a strong team at Quest Wood,” Connolly said. “They have a great safety record and solid operational performance. Our employees are a key consideration as we move forward. Currently our HR team is working with union representatives to mitigate the impact on employees.”

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)
September is Arthritis Month Awareness in Canada. An estimated 4.6 million Canadians over the age of 15 report having the disease and by 2036, that number will increase to 7.5 million. It is not a disease that affects only the elderly. About 56% of arthritis sufferers are under 65. A new arthritis diagnosis is made every sixty seconds in Canada. For more information, go to arthritis.ca Breastfeeding mothers should check with their doctor or pharmacist when taking new medications, over-thecounter or herbal products. Some products will appear in the breastmilk and could be harmful to the baby. Before you take it, talk about it. Another area of research into the use of the chemicals in marijuana is in the treatment of the common behavioural symptoms of Alzheimer’s patients. These include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, agitation and aggression. Early double-blind studies didn’t show much improvement of these symptoms perhaps due to conservative dosing but future testing will use higher doses. It’s good to live in Canada. A report released recently in the U.S. said that a half million Americans had more than $50,000 in prescription drug costs and 139,000 had costs of more than $100,000. Much of these costs were related to cancer and Hepatitis C treatments. Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Let our pharmacists be part of your healthcare team.

Seniors advocate finds holes in home support TOM FLETCHER Black Press
A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate. A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provincial programs. B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress. Mackenzie says increasing availability for adult day programs could reduce emergency visits from complex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health problems before they produce a hospital visit. One puzzling result from the survey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day. Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is
offered. Mackenzie isn’t suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportunities to take a break. “Caregivers do it all,” she said. “Sometimes it is is simple as driving mum to the doctor’s office. Other times it is as complicated as insulin injections or changing catheter bags. “Sometimes it is dropping in on mum and dad at the end of the work day and other times it is living with your wife of 65-plus years as she surrenders to the ravages of dementia, does not know who you are, cannot be left alone and must be fed and toileted.” Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years, and is working with health authorities to shift from hospital to home-care as the population ages. Mackenzie said the number of adult day program clients and days utilized has declined in the last three years, and the number of respite beds at care facilities also appears to be down. The survey found that only half of the clients registered for home support reported receiving a home visit in the previous seven days. The report and other services are available at the Seniors Advocate website, www. seniorsadvocatebc.ca. B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie

Time to double down on diversification The news was a blow, there’s no doubting that. It hit employees, contractors and small businesses hard. But I also know it was not a knock-out punch, that Quesnel will rally together and take on the challenge to get back up and continue to thrive. Quesnel has been through tough times before and we understand how important our community is to us. We know this will take hard work - something I know our government and our community are willing to do.

On Monday, I met with Tolko officials to discuss how we can work together, as we have in the past when we worked with the company and approved a joint venture between Nazko First Nation, Pacific BioEnergy and Tolko to extend a nonrenewable forest license that would see poor quality mountain pine beetle-killed timber converted into pulp chips and biomass fibre. And as your MLA, I have reached out across ministries with my cabinet colleagues and will be accessing provincial resources to coordinate support for impacted workers working with Tolko, local government, the union and other government agencies like WorkBC. As well, I understand that Tolko is working to find alternate employment for the affected employees. I have had regular discussions with Forest Minister Steve Thomson on ways to ensure economic stability in the area. This underscores the need to look at other options, building on what we’ve done to date, such as: • innovative timber sale licences which allows for more efficient harvesting and reforesting of beetle-attacked timber • increased funding through the Forests for Tomorrow program to plant 10 million trees and reforest 100,000 hectares each year in the Cariboo alone. • supplemental forest licences to increase utilization of residual fibre by pellet plants (including Pinnacle Pellet) and local pulp and paper mills.

I will also be ensuring that my own Ministry of Small Business will work with the small business owners and contractors affected. I have reached out to agencies such as Northern Development Initiative Trust, Community Futures and other economic development agencies. We all know too well that our area has been heavily impacted by the mountain pine beetle infestation. When the infestation first took hold, as a city councillor and manager of the Chamber of Commerce at the time, I was part of a team that implemented a Business Resource Team that consisted of the City, Economic Development, Community Futures, the Chamber, the College and UNBC, WorkBC and Continuing Education amongst many other community organizations such as the Business Improvement Areas. We focused on our competitive advantage and looked at ways to diversify our economy and look at job creation by supporting existing small businesses.

Premier Christy Clark listens to Grand Chief Ed John speak at meeting with aboriginal leaders in Vancouver.

B.C., chiefs pledge to work on reconciliation TOM FLETCHER Black Press B.C. cabinet ministers and 500 aboriginal leaders emerged from two days of meetings in Vancouver Thursday with a pledge to work on divisive resource development issues and hold a province-wide forum on aboriginal children in government care. Premier Christy Clark also announced the establishment of a $2 million fund for scholarships for aboriginal students pursuing postgraduate degrees and a new set of awards for aboriginal youth athletic achievement. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was appointed parliamentary secretary in charge of developing the sports awards. A framework document agreed to at the meeting commits the province and First Nations Leadership Council members to keep working on a reconciliation
agreement that would settle historic land claims across the province. Clark said the agreement would have to include provisions for the unique aspects of more than 200 First Nations. Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the first two years of these province-wide meetings have gotten off to a rocky start, but expressed the
hope that “by year 10 we’ll have paved the road.” In his closing speech, John reflected on his own time at a residential school, and described a new generation of young people that is emerging from the social upheaval of that policy. “I couldn’t even see my sister on the other side of the building, even though she was in the same

residential school as I was,” John said. “That disconnect became the norm for us.” Chief Shane Gottfriedson, regional representative of the Assembly of First Nations, echoed John’s call for a resolution to land issues that started in 1859 when colonial Governor James Douglas proclaimed that all lands and
resources in B.C. belong to Crown. Chief Robert Chamberlin, vice president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said last year’s landmark land title decision in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation means action is required to address territorial claims. It is the Canadian law that First Nations want to see implemented,” he said.

Progress needed
T
here will be those in the non-native community alarmed to read that some First Nations “are prepared to take direct action to protect our traditional lands from ongoing exploitation without our consent.” That action, if it occurs, could range from roadblocks to international lobbying and advertising, but it’s all related to the ongoing frustration that the issue of titles and rights remains unresolved. “It’s the same song and dance and nothing has changed,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. Unemployment remains high in many First Nations communities as does poverty, and it’s partially related to a lack of access to natural resources and out-dated, patriarchal federal legislation. After meetings between B.C.’s native leaders and the provincial government last week, there will be attempts to establish a reconciliation agreement that resolves land claims and resource development. Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief, is trying to remain optimistic about the process. “There’s an understanding that the status quo is unacceptable,” he said. “The province recognizes that and First Nations recognize that but it’s a case of overcoming years of misunderstanding.” Louis is right when he says that the future to reconciliation is linked to First Nations communities developing economically and the spin-off benefit for surrounding regions and the province. We would encourage all local residents to contact their MLAs and band councils to actively remain at the table and to look towards a future of co-operation and mutual respect. –BP
Protest stunts distract from real efforts “I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed
Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan. Four elected chiefs of the
“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

Lead Now will crowd fund to conduct a poll to identify the strongest opposition candidate. We have six good candidates running in the Prince George Cariboo riding. The Conservative candidate could win with just 17 per cent of the vote.

Two names set to be added to the Missing and Murdered Women’s Memorial
Time to Take Back the Night
The Memorial for Missing and Murdered women is about to have two names added. Contributed photo
ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
he message of Take Back the Night has never been more poignant in Quesnel than this year as the community prepares to add two more names to the list of 11 murdered and missing women. Sandra Boyd and Ehr Anderson both met with violent deaths at the hands of someone else. The Women’s Resource Centre (WRC), which has always been a strong advocate of empowering women, is again leading Take Back the Night, Sept. 18 at the Missing and Murdered Women’s Memorial at 6:30 p.m. followed by a march through town back to the WRC. Alice Stoddard, who is researching missing and murdered Quesnel women said the 11 names on the memorial do not represent all the women who’ve gone missing or been murdered from this community. “There are almost a dozen more women who aren’t listed on the memorial but are still missing or murdered,” she said. “This could be for a variety of reasons, not the least being the families don’t
want their loved one’s name or information released.” WRC administrative coordinator Sheila Norquay said their needs to be a societal shift where men form respectful relationships with women and don’t rely on a
damaged upbringing, or distorted views of women to dictate their behaviour. “Men must take a leadership role in changing how other men view women and thus treat women,” Norquay said. One of the programs delivered to the

high school classes, Grade 8 – 12, by WRC is called Respectful Relations. The 12-workshop/ class program targets all youth and encourages respectful relationships. They also deliver a program called Making Connections, a 16-week program for women which views life through the trauma-informed lens. This program deals with the fallout from trauma. WRC offers Stopping the Violence counselling, outreach with clients and other support programs for improving women’s lifestyle and outlook on their life. Take Back the Night has its early roots in Europe in 1976 as a response to an alarming increase in sexual assaults. In 1977, other marches followed in West Germany and England where women demanded the right to move freely in their communities without violence. In Canada, the first march known as Reclaim the Night was held in 1978 in Vancouver. This event was organized by the Fly By Night Collective. All the marches have the common themes of awareness and accountability.

Market set to appreciate their customers this Saturday
With only four more Saturdays remaining, the Quesnel Farmers’ Market would like to say a special thank you to all the community for the strong show of support this season. The annual Customer Appreciation Day is set for this Saturday, Sept. 19 and is catered by Dawn Moorhead, who is also a regular vendor at the Market. Dawn will prepare a sampling of local salads, along with corn on the cob, followed by a special dessert. This will get underway around 11 a.m. The Quesnel market on Customer Appreciation Day will feature singer/songwriter Joey Only, who has been a popular entertainer in past years. Joey’s performance will start around 10:30 a.m. The market is pleased to welcome several new produce vendors this year. According to Rob Borsato, Farmers’ Market president, this is all very encouraging. “Our Board of Directors has flagged the need for more agricultural vendors for some years now and we hope that customers will support these new ventures”, Borsato said. “Only by cultivating new growers will we be able to maintain a solid market when other farmers retire.” Produce at the market is at its flushest now, with a

Canucks to open training camp in PG RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter
The National Hockey League is about to start, as teams begin their training camps this week. This provides teams an opportunity to evaluate their players and see the improvements they have made. The Vancouver Canucks start their training camp Sept. 18-20 in Prince George. This is the first time they have held their camp in northern B.C. The on-ice practice sessions will take place at the CN Centre, which is where the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League play. You can still purchase a day pass for any of the three days. The pass provides
access to on-ice sessions, which runs from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. All proceeds from the camp go to the Canucks For Kids Fund, which supports minor hockey development in the Prince George area.Friday and Saturday the Canucks will be split into two groups, the first group starts at 9 a.m. and second at 11:20 a.m. Sunday at 9:45 a.m. will see the Canucks work on their power play, which is mostly veterans. An intra-squad game will follow at 11:20 a.m. with mostly prospects. There will be events throughout the three days, including a Canucks Town Hall Breakfast, Party in the Parking Lot and a coaches clinic. Trevor Linden, President of
Hockey Operations and General Manger Jim Benning will be discussing the upcoming season at the Civic Centre from 7:30 a.m. - 9 a.m. on Friday Sept. 18. Tickets can be purchased online for $25. There will also be a free joint coaching clinic by members of the Prince George Cougars coaching staff and the assistant coaches of the Canucks. The topics include goaltending, diet and nutrition, making the most of practice time and developing as a player. It will be held on Saturday Sept. 19 at 3 pm at the KIN 1 Lounge and is available to minor hockey coaches, parents and players. The Party in the Parking Lot event, includes food, entertainment and
activities with music going on throughout the day. Saturday Sept. 19 will see the bulk of the events with a pancake breakfast and a special Kids Only press conference after the final on-ice session. Vancouver finished last season in fifth place in the western conference with 48 wins and 29 losses for 101 points. The playoffs saw them go up against the Calgary Flames in the first round where they were defeated 4-2 in the series. If you are in the Prince George area come out and see the Canucks, and their prospects who could be wearing the Vancouver jersey this season.

House and Home Writing a will keeps your wishes in control
No matter what the size of your estate, every adult should have a will. Without one, you risk leaving the distribution decisions to an impersonal formula, with the government writing the terms. A valid will ensures that your property will be dealt with according to your wishes and with a minimum of complications and expense for your estate. Without a will, your spouse may not receive as much as you would wish, your heirs will receive fixed percentages, regardless of their needs, and a court appointed administrator will handle your affairs. In making a will, it is important to give careful thought to what persons, needs or organizations you would like to benefit. It is best to consult a lawyer or notary to ensure your will is properly drawn up. This is much less expensive than most people imagine. Here are 10 reasons for drafting a will: 1. It’s your property: A will guarantees that your assets
will be distributed according to your wishes. 2. Children/Grandchildren: A will provides for the care of any children who are minors, enabling you to choose a guardian. Should both parents die, it assures the children do not become a ward of the Court. 3. Speedy settlement of affairs: Without a will, lengthy court delays could create undue hardship for your family. 4. Estate planning: When skillfully drafted, a will allows you to incorporate taxsaving measures and avoid unnecessary taxes, resulting in increased funds for your beneficiaries. 5. Simplified distribution of your estate: By providing a blueprint and a list of directions, families will not have to guess about what you wanted. 6. Peace of mind: A certain peace of mind comes from knowing that you’ve drafted a will that sets out your true intentions. 7. Questions of capacity: If
a person loses mental capacity, it’s not legally possible to write a will. 8. Supporting your favourite causes: A will assures that you can continue to help organizations you have believed in during your lifetime, such as a health, education or sports charity, or a human rights organization like Amnesty International. 9. Relieving any burden on your family: Reviewing the contents and nature of your estate and making known your decisions ahead of time for its disposition makes it easier on other family members. 10. Ability to be creative: There are relatively few rules that limit a testator’s (person who writes a will) ability to make creative, thoughtful dispositions of property. Write for a free information package on wills and bequests to Amnesty International, 312 Laurier Avenue East, #315, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 1H9. –newscanada
Four tips to ensure moving day goes as smoothly as possible Moving can be a real headache. For one, it requires a lot of planning: finding a mover, sorting your personal belongings and coordinating the timing of the move. Then, there is the constant worry of whether your belongings are safe as they get packed away, loaded up and moved to your new home. A lot can go wrong during a move, but by following some simple tips, you can minimize the worry and avoid mishaps. Choose your mover wisely. Choosing a mover based on price alone is a big mistake. You want someone you can trust with all of your personal belongings. Be diligent: ask around for recommendations from friends or family and look for accreditation with the Better Business Bureau. Sort out your insurance needs. James Hall, an insurance expert with Western Financial Group, suggests you contact your broker at least a couple of weeks in advance to discuss your insurance needs. Contacting your broker ahead of time will ensure your items are protected during transport and that you have coverage in place for your new home the moment you take
possession. A broker can identify whether your existing policy covers the contents of your home while they are in transit or if you should consider purchasing additional insurance from the moving company. “Just remember that not all moving companies offer insurance with full replacement protection,” Hall says. “That means you will only get a certain percentage of the value of your possessions should they be damaged during the move.” Start packing early. Getting organized ahead of time will save you a lot of hassle come moving day. If you decide to pack boxes yourself, start with items that you don’t often use. It’s also a good idea to build an inventory of boxes and other loose items or furniture to make sure that everything transported by the mover arrives. Once boxes are full, be sure to label the outside with its contents, indicate whether they are fragile and write which room the box should be placed in at the new location. Make arrangements at the new home. Depending on the type of residence you are moving to, you may need to arrange parking for the moving truck.
If you are moving to an apartment, notify your landlord of the expected arrival time of the moving truck and book the elevator in the apartment building. Keep valuables close. Family heirlooms, important documents, jewelry, laptop computers and other expensive items should stay under your watchful eye. Rather than packing them into a box with other contents, keep them with you in the vehicle you will be travelling in. Double check all spaces. Once the moving truck is ready to roll, do a thorough walk-through of your old residence to ensure nothing has been missed. Check drawers, closets, crawl spaces and any other concealed spaces. For more information on how to insure your personal property for an upcoming move, visit www.westernfinancialgroup.ca. –newscanada

Coffee decoded: a quick guide to specialty coffees Ever wonder what the difference is between a cappuccino and a macchiato? Ever feel confused when looking at all the coffee varieties and fancy names? There’s no doubt coffee has evolved over the years: it’s no longer just with or without sugar, milk or cream. It remains the most popular beverage in the country (after tap water) and is consumed by 65 percent of Canadians each day according to the Coffee Association of Canada. While mornings are still the time of day most people drink coffee (25 per cent), a growing number of coffee addicts are enjoying it after-lunch and afternoons and there are now even cocktails made with coffee. So before you start personalizing your own coffee, it would be useful to learn a thing or two about the different types of coffee. Here’s your survival guide from the experts at Van Houtte to make it in the coffee world: • Americano: A classic Americano is prepared with two shots of espresso and about 12 ounc-
es of water. Simple and tasty. • Cappuccino: Rich coffee, warm milk, creamy mousse. Simple yet intense. Perfect to wake you up. • Caramel Macchiato: The name says it all: a perfect mix of coffee, with a taste of buttery caramel. A great way to feel like a kid in a candy store again. • Espresso: Espresso was originally conceived as a faster way of making coffee, hence the name “espresso”, meaning “express” in Italian. This was done by forcing hot water through a finely ground blend of coffee at high pressure resulting in faster extraction. The result: a rich beverage that is thicker than regular coffee, with a delicious crema on top. • Mocaccino: Coffee and chocolate mixed together. Two great tastes brilliantly united. Not sure whether to have hot chocolate or coffee? This one’s for you. • Vanilla Latte: Rich coffee with a hint of vanilla. Tastes as good as it smells. –newscanada
Authentic Italian? How to find the real stuff What’s not to love about Italian food? It’s really no surprise it’s often listed in the top favourite cuisines of our friends and families alike. Italy produces succulent cured meats, mouth-watering cheese varieties and olive oil so rich and flavourful you’ll savour every drop. It’s also a food category full of imitators. The Italian Trade Commission shared the top tips for identifying real Italian products from its Italian-sounding competitors. Here are some tips to help identify authentic Italian cured meats, cheeses and olive oil: Cured Meats: Prosciutto is one of the most popular and beloved choices – whether as part of a charcuterie board or sandwich. Authentic Italian prosciutto is made from hogs raised in select areas of central-northern Italy that are given special diets. You’ll know you have the right stuff if you see the word “Original” on the package and the prosciutto leg is marked with the Ducal Crown. Mortadella is another familiar cold cut enjoyed by many Canadians. It might look like baloney, but that’s actually American. The Italian version is Mortadella Bologna and comes from the region with the same namesake. Cheeses: Whether enjoyed in a salad, pasta or dip, Asiago is a popular gourmet cheese enjoyed by many.
Often imitated, this rich cheese is made from the milk of cows that are pastured between the mountainous regions of Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige. To find the real thing, look for the word Asiago, which should be pressed into the rind of the cheese. The wheel is also branded with the Asiago consortium seal and the term Prodotto Della Montagna (product of the Mountain). Another common sheep’s cheese is Romano. This hard
cheese is rooted in history and more than 2,000 years old. The Italian version is known as Pecorino Romano and has a pale ivory colour and aromatic, tangy flavour Olive Oil: Italy’s climate, which is ideal for the olive trees, alongside centuries of craftsmanship, makes it no surprise that Italianmade olive oil is considered the best in the world. With so many imitations out there, reading the labels is especially important. Avoid bottles that say “packed in Italy” as they can contain olive oil from other European countries. Instead look for a bottle that says “product of Italy.” Depending on your taste buds, you may want to also consider which region it was crafted in, as flavours can vary. For bolder oil go south, and for softer flavours go for a blend from central Italy. Aside from looking for the region of production, authentic Italian-made products have designations that ensure their quality and craftsmanship. If you’re uncertain next time you’re shopping, keep an eye out for one of the following: Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP), Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP) and Traditional Specialty Guarantee (TSG). Check out www.italianmade.com for more information and shopping tips. –newscanada
